From the beloved author of Necklace of Kisses comes a modern-day
fairy tale of a willful and intuitive heroine and a world of
shocking realism and transcendent magic. Francesca Lia Block, this
time with co-writer Carmen Staton, introduces readers to Ruby, a
Midwestern girl named for the jewel that is believed to ward off
evil spirits. Ruby's special gift is a sixth sense that makes her
at one with nature and gives her the ability to know her own
destiny. After growing up in an abusive family, Ruby escapes to Los
Angeles and learns of her soulmate -- Orion -- a British actor. She
travels to England, where she works at a potions and herbs shop,
and through a series of coincidental circumstances, ends up nursing
Orion back to health without confessing that she has been on a
quest to find him all along. But just when she thinks her dream is
becoming a reality, Ruby is stopped in her tracks by the violent
demons of her past. Only by facing the darkness together can she
and Orion finally fulfill their destiny. As with Necklace of
Kisses, Block, here with Staton, breaks the mold. In Ruby, readers
will find a story about the power of our minds to overcome the past
and ultimately change the course of our lives.
